Man I tell you Guitarists have it soooo easy with strings lol. Just been playing, using a 1.5 Vandoren Blue, I sounded like a farting Frog!! checked the Reed, looks great, still sound chronic, take reed off, put back in exactly same place–perfect!!! these things have a mind of their own. If Guitarists had to put up with this they’d be having hissy fits every ten minutes.
